AW: [meteorite-list] How many Hexahedrites are there?

[Jörn Koblitz]

Dear Alex,

Thank you for the flowers. It's really a great honor to have received this first Service Award of the Meteoritical Society at the MetSoc 2006 Meeting in Zurich.

The MetBase 8.0 release should be ready in a few months from now, hopefully End of October. It's correct that the Bulletin is not yet ready and am impatiently wating for it, too.

Best wishes and have a nice vacation (meteorite hunting?)

Jörn / MetBase

Hi Jörn,

first of all sincere congrats to you for winning the Meteoritical Society Service Prize 2006 - truly deserved for what you have achieved in the field of meteoritics as one of the few first really dedicated "early modern times" [..i.e. pre-internet, since the early Eighties :-)] private collectors of meteorites, as a long-time member of the NomCom of MetSoc, as the owner of one of the biggest private collections of meteorite literature worldwide, and, last but surely not least, as the author of MetBase.

Regarding MetBase, could you please let us all know when V8.0 will be about due for release? There have been rumours about plans of re-organizing the release schedule of the meteorite bulletins from the Society, but since I unfortunately had no chance to attend this years meeting in Zurich I don´t have any further details on this. Could you add a little more..??

Alex
